I was almost sure you'd forget either Metagross or Salamence, since not many people know that both are considered psuedolegends.

 

Dragonite is automatically out, since Salamence overshadows it.

 

I say Garchomp. He can outspeed Salamence and Dragonite and hit them with STAB CB Outrage.

 

He can outspeed Tyranitar and Metagross and hit them with STAB CB Earthquake.

Hmph. Who do you take me for?

 

What if Earthquake missed and Metagross used Magnet Rise?

Fire Fang. After a SD it's a 2HKO.

 

But in the very extremely uber rare chance Metagross runs both MR and Ice Pawnch, Metagross would win.

Standard Scarf Garchomp vs. Standard Banded Metagross, Earthquake.

 

70.9% - 84.1%

 

Solid 2HKO, Metagross fails to OHKO back. Metagross never carries Magnet Rise. Ever.

 

Standard Banded Garchomp vs. Standard Banded Metagross, Earthquake.

 

107.1% - 125.8%

 

OHKO 100% of the time.

 

So we know that Garchomp can beat Metagross and Salamence/Dragonite, but what about TTar?

 

It needs Ice Beam to actually do anything to Garchomp.

 

Garchomp wins every matchup except against a Tyraniboah or MixTar.

Earthquake can't miss; it has 100% accuracy and I doubt Metagross is holding Brightpowder.

 

The 100% is a lie. It's actually a 99.6% chance.

 

.4% is still really' date=' REALLY low, but it can still miss.

[/quote']

 

Wasn't that only in Gen I, where the accuracy formula was flawed in-game? I'm pretty sure 100% moves from Gen II onwards retain their 100% accuracy, but please post a source if I'm incorrect.

 

I said no items in the first post' date=' didn't I?

 

%100 moves can still miss, it's happened to me, without any accuracy lowering moves.

 

My Metagross had Magnet Rise.

[/quote']

 

No items is no fair; in standard competitive play, items are used.

 

However, non-Banded Garchomp can still outspeed and KO Mence and Dragonite, and outspeed and 2HKO Metagross and Tyranitar. Tyranitar can do nothing but Ice Beam (which it rarely uses), and even if Metagross has Magnet Rise, it can't really damage Garchomp without dying first.

Garchomp is best and because of that I dislike it the most.

 

Then it's Salamence > Tyrannitar > Metagross > Dragonite imo.

 

But then again, they can all do stuff none of the others can. tbh it's more of a tie than anything else; they have their niches which they're great at, which makes them hard to compare.

 

Anyway, yeah, Garchomp has the power, speed and bulk to dick them all.

I think you're thinking of the Critical Hit formula.

 

http://www.psypokes.com/lab/criticalhits.php

 

It also says everything in Gen I was never 100%, and was instead rounded down to 99.6%.

 

But I'm sure that still applies for accuracy in today's games as I've had moves such as Surf and EQ miss without things like Double Team, Sand Veil or Brightpowder in play.

Dragonite has nothing over the other psuedos outside of Banded or DDance ExtremeSpeed.

 

And Lucario can do that better with SD. <_<

 

That's probably "The Pokemon avoided the attack" rather than "The attack missed"; I still don't know what that is.

 

I'm pretty sure in double battles that multi-Pokemon moves have reduced accuracy.

 

But I'm pretty sure that Gen II and onwards had their accuracy formula fixed to 100% all.

I put Nite at the bottom for that reason and similar ones but it also has Heal Bell and can do status. Then again, WishMence has a pretty good supporting role too.

That's horrible reasoning for why Dragonite is good, lol. I'm pretty sure some NU Pokemon can use status.

 

But yeah, I get what you are saying. Out of all five, though, it is the only one to have priority... well, Metagross has Bullet Punch, but that is really only used on lead sets.

 

I like to thoroughly explain my opinions in these Pokemon threads because you have idiots who say "i liek salmnc cuz he is fastr den garchamp n can use aqua tale". I don't mind people having a non-competitive opinion, but don't say competitive bullshit that you can't even comprehend.

 

Half of the people in this forum don't even know that Garchomp is faster than Salamence, and I literally faceplam (yes, plam) when people say that Salamence can outspeed Garchomp.
